Hiya Richard, Awesome ....I don't suppose you could upload a pic of it by any chance could you?

I 'm unaware whether Rod is still active , but what a very knowledgeable as well as a genuinely nice guy..... I subscribed to Midnight Express (I believe I wrote an article on the South Wales Soul scene in one issue? If my memory seves me right).......He later went on to do the superb "Voices from the shadows" magazine! Indeed more Great reading material......Thanks for the downloads of Midnight Express Karl !

As a Newport County supporter since my induction 1962/3 and furthermore, my love of the Soul Scene from 1974/5 said paths were"crossed" in September 1978 after a Friday night oldies session and Wigan Athletics initial football league season We happened to be playing them the following day.....Having spent the early morning at Wigan baths, after said Soul session, we visited the record shops before going to the game! With Newport having been been unsuccessful in obtaining any victory prior, were succesful at Springfield Park for our first season victory of 3-2.....My mate Nick, ,had kindly driven us up to Lancashire in his Mini Clubman, were displaying our club colours of Amber/Black, on our return to South Wales and receiving the complimentary sheep relationship jibes, from the home mob,whilst they were in receipt of the usual reminders of the score etc. ......Punk was the current fashion trend and the spikey haired following were keen to catch us up in their Doc Martens and hob nails and do us some damage, and as the traffic was'nt , moving due to red lights, it seemed that their footfall grew to running pace,whilst we weren't moving !!! Eventually our luck changed as did the lights luckily, and we headed southbound, having enjoyed both an oldies all-nighter along with a first win of the season!

Covers 33 ..........?

Awesome Upload GF.

Quality Sir......

Very Sad news.....R.I.P Sir.....

Many Happy Returns Lorraine....

I totally agree with Bill, and would add my total respect to each of you for your efforts.......

I'm sorry if this topic is slightly off-track, however I've had my one and only pet dog Taffy for over 17 years....He is truly my best friend, however has undergone 2 operations in the last couple of years to remove a benign tumour from his jaw, the last procedure being in March this year which has sadly failed, and now his only option is to be put out of his pain and misery is to be put to sleep, which sadly is arranged for Monday afternoon....I am absolutely distraught, and almost feel guilty of playing God....How does one cope?????

Wattstax, from mid 70's.......

I used to attend the Southport Soul weekenders, and also subscribed to the absolutely Superb Voices from the shadows magazine, whilst also recalling the Henseforth release, and for the life of me can't remember whether he was one of the many superb artist(e)s I saw there.....Obviously Rod Dearlove, would be a great contact .....

What a Superb record, and one I can honestly say have loved since first hearing Butch play it! I recall driving home from a Ritz All-nighter in my buddys car, when he had turned this right up to full volume on tape, and we had a blow out on the outskirts of Manchester.....Hairy moment, in the middle of the sax break, and thinking it was going to be the last record I'd ever hear......

If anyone could help, I'd be extremely grateful, and would appreciate any response via PM please. Ike Noble-One way street-Sound Patterns James Lately-Love Friends & Money-Temple Sonny Allen-Your love was wonderful-Hit Pack Mad Dog & the Pups-Look into my eyes-Magic City Thanks.....wilxy
